Spy-Hopping along the ICW

The rhythmic splash of a  dolphin or two or three swimming alongside Meandering Joy was a welcome sound.  This festive sound and sight is one of the most pleasurable events we experience while boating. According to ancient Greek history, dolphins riding in a ships wake was regarded as a good omen.  We will take that any day.  

Jumping out of the water to take a look at its surroundings is known as spy-hopping. These lovely, curious, fun-loving creatures are around around 6 to 8 feet long and can weigh between 400 and 600 pounds yet they are nimble enough to spy-hop.  



Hoping this video brightens your day!
